Ballarat Race 4 - Eureka Concrete
ANGRY CHIEF (1) flew the lids off the inside draw with a fast early split and gave a sight, finishing a half a length second (24.08) over 425m at Bendigo. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. One of the contenders. URGING (2) produced a moderate performance last time when fifth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Blackpool Finn (22.58) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from four starts. Must be included in calculations. PAW BALLISTA (5) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2 length fourth (23.26) over 400m at Geelong. Form from his last run is proving strong. Better than last start and can bounce back. CHOW MEIN (6) is a last start winner and can go on with it.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (24.08) at Bendigo over 425m. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Missed the frame latest (31.49) when sixth over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Finished in the minors last time when third (24.17) at Bendigo, making it two placings on end. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2 length fourth (23.26) over 400m at Geelong. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Likely to struggle this time.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at Warrnambool over 390m (22.90) beating Saint Finnie in Bottom Up - Grade 5 on August 10. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
